1.3 billion people seem to live happily and peacefully in China. Sure you can recite this statistic and that number and you’d probably be right. I’m not arguing that it’s a good system.

But 1.3 billion people live in a country where the government tells them how many children they can have? They seem to be a basically happy people.

But I’m not going to argue.....so I bow to your wisdom of the world.

Would you give up the rights which you have that a Chinese citizen cannot count on? After all, you say that they are happy without them.

I caught a bit of a documentary on HBO about the 1 child policy in China and the affects that policy has on the Chinsese people and their culture. None of what was shown suggested they were happy about the policy. I noticed the living conditions exhibited in the documentary ranged from huts to high rises. Frankly, I don’t know if they are any more or less happy that you or I, but the documentary didn’t paint a very joyous picture.
